Well, I'm a little behind this week & have some exciting news to share, it's still feels a little unreal. So I am pleased to say that I am now on the Design Team of The Paperlane.

The Paperlane is my local craft shop based in Northallerton & Caz the owner is super fun & super sweet & the shop stocks lots of lovely products - Heaven!

Anyhow, The Paperlane hosts a monthly challenge HERE. My first DT challenge project was to create for this months theme of Snowflakes & Sparkle. Such a fun challenge to get into the swing of creating for Christmas!

Here's my card ...

The Paperlane stocks lots of lovely stamps including Magnolia & Hero Arts 2 of my many FAVES! As I am a CAS kinda girl I thought that I'd use the frosty text stamp from Magnolia which is embossed with Stardust EP.

The snowflake BG is a Hero Arts Design Block stamp. I used Stardust EP on this too. The CS is PTI which is Blueberry Sky. The Ribbon is also PTI Blueberry Sky. The Snowflake punch is Martha Stewart & I used a lilac gem to add another touch of colour.

This photo below shows a little more of the sparkliness!

Be sure to check out the challenge & also the other DT's gorgeous samples HERE.

I can't believe it's Friday Eve already! This week has been so busy decorating my new studio :) I'm off to check the progress of the carpet fitters now!
